Which gas in its solid state is also known as dry
ice?
Explanation:

J J Thomson received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of ________.
Correct option: B
- Reason: J.J. Thomson discovered the electron using cathode rays and measured their charge-to-mass ratio (e/m).
- Key concept: cathode rays reveal negatively charged particles smaller than atoms; determination of e/m led to the first subatomic particle.
- Formula/note: e/m ratio was calculated from observed deflection in electric and magnetic fields.
- Why others are incorrect: Protons (A) and Neutrons (C) were identified later; Positrons (D) were discovered by Anderson.
- Exam tip: Associate Thomson with electron discovery and the plum pudding model.

Kidney disease in man is caused by the pollutant
Correct option: A
Answer: Cadmium
Answer: Cadmium
- Reason: Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that damages the kidneys, especially the renal tubules, leading to nephrotoxicity and kidney disease.
- Key concept: Heavy metal-induced nephrotoxicity; Cd accumulates in proximal tubule cells causing functional impairment.
- Note on others: Iron, Cobalt, and Carbon are not primarily linked to causing chronic kidney disease in this context.
- Exam tip: Remember common nephrotoxic metals—cadmium is a classic culprit for kidney damage.

Question: Dehydration in human body is caused due to the loss of
- Correct option: B water
- Salts (electrolytes) help fluid balance but are not the direct cause.
- Hormones regulate balance but are not the losing agent.
- Vitamins are not involved in acute fluid loss.

In the eye colour vision is effected by the presence of
Correct answer: C — Cones
- Why correct: Cones are photoreceptors responsible for color vision and function best in bright light.
- Key concept: Humans have three types of cones (S, M, L) that detect different wavelengths, enabling color perception.
- Why others are incorrect: Rods detect light intensity and motion (not color) and work in dim light; choroid coat and sclerotic coat are supportive eye structures, not color vision receptors.
- Exam tip: If a question asks about color vision, think cones, not rods.

The disease caused by Asbestos is
Correct option: C
- Emphysema is linked to asbestos exposure when inhaled fibers irritate lungs, causing breathing difficulty and increased risk of lung diseases, including chronic obstructive lung damage.
- Key concept: Asbestos fibers cause inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) leading to decreased air exchange in alveoli.
- Formula/logic: Exposure → inflammation + fibrosis → reduced lung elasticity → emphysema symptoms (breathlessness).
